| what can i DO? Husband loves this big guy and it's his favorite but says he has to go. I understand where he is comming from. Tike is ok with older dog but bullys him some what. but I can not put the baby down he goes into him really bad. Ed says he to ruff and will hurt him and does not want to see that hapens. He says this new pup is not ever going to get that big. When ever Tikes even walks by the pup he curls up in a ball even in my lap. I have just done all I can to keep them apart. I told him let wait this out he says no. Ed says this guy bounces off the wall and he cant enjoy his evening at nite now. What can I do? HELP |

| I'm sorry to hear that. I know it'll be difficult but I suggest a dog rescue for small dogs, or posting a flyer or putting an ad in the newspaper. If you do decide to go with the flyer or ad idea make sure you don't give him up for free. There was an post on here not too long ago about people who look for free dogs and cats and use them for food. I wish you the best.

I Love Thor Donating Member | I'm not sure I understand your post but is your husband having trouble with your yorkie bouncing off of the walls? MAybe try a long walk twice a day and if you can only get one in do it in the evening. Good luck. |

| I have given you so much advise and I dont know what else you can do! I told you just the other day that maybe you think that the "big" guy is hurting the little one but really they are only playing! My girls are constantly fighting over toys, and such everyday! I used to be really protective of Daisy when I first brought her home bc I was so afraid that Chloe was going to hurt her! But it never happened! I guess if you have it made up in your mind that you are getting rid of the big guy then you will! Also your hubby says that you have to get rid of him bc he is bouncing off of the walls, IMO, you are going to have a hard time finding a yorkie that does not "bounce off of the walls" so to speak!

| Also I forgot this in my other post, when you are holding the little guy 24 hours a day maybe the bigger one is getting jealous! You have only had your newest little one for 1 week so they havent had time to adjust to each other! If you would just put the little guy down and keep an eye on him, they should start getting used to each other soon!

| I don't understand this either..why would you get rid of the older dog and keep the new one? I'm not criticizing just asking. I would re-think having a yorkie period if I were you because they can be very hyper if not given plenty of exercise and play time. I am lucky that my girls are calm but then again i live on 6 acres and have 4 children to wear the pants off of them. The big guy has been with you longer hasn't he? I think his feelings should come first in this issue because he has established himself in your home..the new puppy hasn't even had a chance to totally bond with you yet. If for some reason I had a new pup that no matter what just didn't fit in I would consider rehoming the new one before I would the one i had for a long time. And this is not said to hurt your feelings but for me I couldn't see get rid of any of my yorkies. There are too many behaviorist and trainers out there for that to happen. It takes time for a dog to get used to a new puppy. As far as hubby goes..he was in there when it was time to get both dogs from what i'm gathering so maybe instead of telling you to just get RID of them maybe he just needs to HELP you get them used to the new situation.. So my advice would be you both either need to buckle down to make it work or find homes for both cause if you can't handle the first one ..you won't be able to handle the second one or any yorkie after that. Good luck

| i agree with everything Heather said! it has been such a short period of time- i think they just need to get used to eachother! if your husband loves the "big" guy i dont see why he is so hesitant to wait it our for a little while... i think pats suggestion with spraying him down with the bitter apple would prob work wonders!! that stuff is great yorkie repellant! but i do have one question... if you get rid of the "big" guy, are you planning on getting another puppy? i really hope you can talk your husband into waiting it out for a little while longer so they can get used to eachother<3

| The baby has a hernia I had to take him in this morning vet said maybe the big guy ruffed him to hard. I said but I WATCH THEM AND NOW THEY DONT PLAY. pUP YELPS WHEN i PICK HIM UP SOMETIMES. Vet said nothing to do right now just watch him. Is that true? I am thinking of getting another opion. am trying to just wait this out with hubby. he loves the big guy but doesnt get any rest at nite and it bothers him. He said he oicks on the 4 yr old and hurts the baby we will see. I dont understand why some have emailed me very angry should I just not say anything here. |

| I wish you would just re-home the dog already before he is harmed. Every dog deserves to be loved and I don't understand this situation at all.

| No ones attacking you we just don't understand why you would get a new puppy when it's obvious you've already been having problems with the other one. Unless the problems started after you got the puppy. If thats the case then everything just got simple..your other dog is jealous.
